Warhammer 40,000 Open Day - Exhibition - Armies on Parade Display

More pictures taken while I was at the Warhammer 40,000 Open Day at Warhammer World. This time, the exhibition of Armies of Parade entrants.


First up is an internet famous one! This is an amazing Dark Eldar display piece done by James Taro. I think it's a bit of a shame that there wasn't a national Armies on Parade competition last year or this year, as I think this would have been a serious contender for winning last year.


I like Orks, and I'm very fond of irresponsible giant land ships. This board has both. It doesn't look great from a distance as the multi-coloured metal plates break up the outline a lot, but it's really nice.


Here's an awesome chaos board, with a lot of work gone into customising the board to add the chaos star.


An awesome chaos daemons board, invading an Imperial city. Some of the daemons have had some green stuff work done to change their faces.


This Ork board is apparently inspired by the old Deff Skwadron comic.


Nice little Grey Knight force working alongside some Storm Troopers. Coteaz supervises from the building on the back.


A nice simple Adeptus Mechanicus and Skitarii board - really like the rusted pipes and weathering.


This is a Tomb Kings / Nagash Age of Sigmar board - the idea of the column of skeletons coming out of the Realmgate is a really nice one.


If you look closely, you can also see some spirit hosts just behind the portal, painted in the same colours. I really like that effect.


Bit of a Space Hulk vibe going on here...


An oldie but a goodie - one of the White Dwarf team's Empire board.

Warhammer 40,000 Open Day - Staff Armies

The Saturday of the Warhammer 40K Open Day had displays of some staff armies, which I took a few pictures of and I thought I'd share with you.


This is an awesome conversion of a Vampire Counts model (and I think some Dark Eldar bits) into an Adeptus Mechanicus model.


I totally need to own some Skitarii...


I love this little mini diorama with only two figures - you can still see the story.


This was a gorgeously weathered knight. I'm starting to think I need to pick one up.


I love the weird free hand banners in particular.


I'm planning some Iron Warriors, so I took a couple of photos here.


Sadly, it's hard to pick out the detail with so many very busy models!


There was a massive Eldar and Harlequin force too. This only gives a small impression of the scale of it.
